For an event known for its breathtaking fashion, with outfits that push the boundaries of what we know, we’d expect the creativity to be off the charts.
And they certainly are! But sometimes designers and celebrities can go a bit overboard with their accessories and fits. While this fits perfectly into what the Met Gala is all about, there are guaranteed to be a few entries that just aren’t that pleasing to the eye.
For this year, the dress code was labeled as “Tailored For You,” where guests are expected to wear something that represents menswear or suiting. But some stars decided to go a little over — or not follow the theme at all.
Here are our top picks for the looks that made us say one word: yikes.
#21 Michael Braun

Close enough… welcome to the Met Gala, Mickey Mouse!
Now, of course, the design isn’t actually the famous cartoon character but the black, white, and red certainly reminded us of such.

#22 Alicia Keys

The colors and the design are nice, but besides that, it’s a little too much.
Her crazy headpiece and over-the-top scarf-like accessory should probably have been toned down a little.

#23 Gustav Magnar Witzoe

We’re a fan of the suitcase. And we’re a fan of the all-white outfit.
But putting both together doesn’t really go well, in our opinion. Perhaps adding more red to the rest of his jacket and pants could’ve gone a long way because as it stands now, the roses in the suitcase are too attention-grabbing.

#24 Sabrina Carpenter

We’re just wishing the celebrities this year would invest in some pants. It does work well for Sabrina Carpenter’s leotard and blazer, but it could work even better with something to cover her legs.

#25 Patrick Schwarzenegger

We get what Patrick Schwarzenegger was doing with the purse — it does match his belt well. But it just looks strange dangling in his hand.

#26 Pusha T

The excessive jewels by the sleeves of Pusha T’s suit were honestly a genius addition to the whole look, but it looks so much like dandruff or snow that it’s throwing us off.

#27 Emma Chamberlain

From the front, Emma Chamberlain’s dress has a nice unique touch to it. But from the back… it all disappears, quite literally.
It seems the tailor ran out of fabric when working on the second half of the outfit.

#28 Nicki Minaj

Balance doesn’t really exist with Nicki Minaj’s outfit. The right half of her outfit is too bare and the left half flourishes too much — mixing up the two would’ve helped.
“She’s allergic to serving,” one critic wrote.

#29 Adut Akech

Replacing the neckpiece with a simple necklace probably would’ve saved the look. As it stands now, it seems as if it’s suffocating the model.

#30 Bad Bunny

There is a lot going on here… and it has to do with his accessories, rather than his outfit.
That’s an awfully large bag to carry around, and the yellow doesn’t match with his shirt or suit. Not to mention, the hat looks pretty similar to a bird’s nest.

#31 Simone Biles

Similar to Venus Williams, Simone Biles’ outfit looks very similar to what she would wear as a gymnastic leotard. Yes, the collar, purse, and bow add to it and most would know this is definitely not a sports outfit — but we can’t help thinking that a longer dress would have worked wonders.

#32 Nicole Phelps

Does anyone think Nicole Phelps is going to use her feathers and fly out of there?
The black and the silver sparkles certainly go well together. But it feels as if the outfit in general is drowning her. Besides, the feathers aren’t the most flattering.

#33 Joey King

There are so many pins that it’s making our eyes hurt, just looking at it. In addition, the green, red, and yellow don’t blend in with each other very well.

#34 Janelle Monáe

It’s giving steampunk, which is a great look for Janelle Monáe! But she doesn’t exactly stand out at a prestigious fashion event like the Met Gala.

#35 Anthony Pratt

Anthony Pratt really wants us to remember that recycling is important — but perhaps the Met Gala isn’t the place to broadcast that message. At least in this direct, in-your-face approach.

#36 Gabby Thomas

The off-the-shoulder sleeves just look so much like broken lampshades that it’s hard to ignore. Other than that, the color and the style do their job well.

#37 Evan Ross

Going without a shirt is a choice, and going with a shirt is a choice. It seems as if Evan Ross didn’t know which route to take.
On the bright side, everything else has good, solid designs, and the emerald necklace was a great addition.

#38 Vera Wang

Vera Wang usually has such great outfits and we could’ve said the same about this one, if it weren’t for the feathers at the bottom.
Perhaps she just wants to dust any debris on the floor out of her way?

#39 Alex Consani

Having a section of black fabric instead of bare skin would’ve done wonders for Alex Consani’s look, in our opinion. The X-cross right below her chest does add an extra bling and looks comfortable to the eye.

#40 Hildy Kuryk-Bernstein

Does Hildy Kuryk-Bernstein know she’s attending the Met Gala and not a business meeting?
All jokes aside, the Director of Communications for Vogue Magazine had a great color scheme going on, but it’s the suitcase paired with the suit and pants that look as if she’s going somewhere completely different.
